Making All Things New

Already Gone

Into The Sun (EP Version)

Steamed windows, murmured voices,
Wooden tables bearing stories untold.
I sit, a quiet shadow in the corner,
Watching life unfold like pages in a book.

There's safety behind the glass,
Watching the world without a word.
Outsider looking in, finding peace,
In the silence of my unspoken thoughts.

The old man with his newspaper, crinkling,
A couple leans close, whispers over coffee.
I imagine their lives, spin tales from threads,
Each sip, a story, each glance, a chapter.

Drawn to the rhythm of routine and rush,
This window frames the art of everyday.
An attachment grows with each observed moment,
Here, in the quiet buzz of the café life.

Should I step into the canvas I admire?
Join the chatter, break my silent vow?
Yet, here I stay, a specter in the backdrop,
Comfort in the barrier that words can't breach.
Perhaps, one day, my voice will join the chorus,
But today, I'm just a painter with no brush.

This corner, my refuge, where dreams are silent,
Yet, within me grows a hope to find my voice.
Someday to weave myself into the narrative,
Until then, I'll observe, and quietly rejoice.

This corner, my refuge, where dreams are silent,
Yet, within me grows a hope to find my voice.
Someday to weave myself into the narrative,
Until then, I'll observe, and quietly rejoice.

The Trouble with Wanting

Formed in London 2012, Bear’s Den have amassed a dedicated and international fan base with their anthemic indie-folk-rock. With 3 studio albums under their belt, as well as recent collaborative project “Fragments"with composer Paul Frith, they have been a regular fixture in the charts of UK and Europe since their inception. Their Debut album “Islands” also garnered a nomination for an Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.  

Having toured around the world playing theatres, arenas and festivals (including Reading and Leeds, Glastonbury Festival, Pukkelpop, Lowlands and Bonnaroo), in 2019, following the release of their third album “So That You Might Hear Me" they returned to their origins for a tour of tiny "Highlands and Islands" venues across Scotland and a supporting documentary.  No stranger to music documentary making, the band also featured heavily in the award winning documentary Austin To Boston alongside Ben Howard, Nathaniel Rateliff and The Staves. 

The band’s most recent release, 2020’s “Fragments” is a collaborative work with acclaimed composer/arranger Paul Frith (Bear’s Den, The xx, Radiohead), taking highlights of the band’s back catalogue and rebuilding them from the ground up, alongside an orchestral ensemble, creating a completely new body of work from pieces of the originals.
